“SMHALL94, good stuff. Corrosive Youth were much better than The Patrol. My band was called either Wild Youth, or KK Dive. (Depending on exact year).”

“Woody, it is definitely the Unicorn. My own bands played there many times. Incidentally, wasn't Dave Powell - Beau Leisure's vocalist, in The Risk once? I'm sure he told me that he wrote the Beau Leisure single - 'American Beat' when he was in The Risk?”

“Despite a credibility issue, the Rats were a great band. Top tunes, quality musicians, and excellent stagecraft. 'Tonic For The Troops' is as good a power punk album as any other released in the era.”

“Nevermind The Buzzies and JD-what about The Dooleys! Now there was a crack Manc pop combo.:-)”

“Yes, that's the TG's. Played with them a few times, mainly at Sale Annexe. Fav track - Strangeways. Still remember it now ... "Strangeways, must be like hell, Strangeways, five in a cell, Strangeways, nothing to do, Strangways, just the walls and yooooooo!".”

“Did this band ever play Sale annexe, and did they have a song called C.I.D? .. or am I thinking of Corrosive Youth?”

“Played with The Patrol at an all dayer in Alty Precinct Sorry to say but Brownie had a bad attitude even then! Also played Sale Annexe a few times with Corrosive Youth. TOP band!”

“Check out Beau Leisure (on here) Dave Powells superb synth band, post this release. They can also be found on Facebook.”

“They even have a facebook page ....
